Fresh spring asparagus are lightly steamed and then drizzled with a lemon-olive oil vinaigrette, crumbled goat cheese, radishes and fresh chives. This is a delightful salad to serve for lunch with warm crusty bread, or as part of a larger dinner.

The unique, tangy flavor of goat cheese is unmistakable in this elegant Cobb Salad, which combines grilled chicken, buttery avocado, ripe tomatoes, crunchy lettuce and creamy goat cheese. Goat cheese is also a key ingredient in the savory herb dressing. This salad is hearty enough to be served as a main course, accompanied by biscuits or a crusty loaf of bread.

Don't forego the St André layer in this luscious pie. It adds a rich, decadent dimension to the fluffy Mascarpone-pumpkin layer and the whipped cream.The zippy ginger crust, crunchy sweet pecans and fragrant spice make this a perfect fall dessert.
